>          Issue Type: New Feature
>          Components: core, simple
>    Affects Versions: 1.3
>            Reporter: Alex D Herbert

> The authors of the algorithm implemented in {{org.apache.commons.rng.core.source64.XorShift1024Star}} have produced a new variant using a different multiplier. The source code is described here:
> [xorshift1024star.c|http://xorshift.di.unimi.it/xorshift1024star.c]
> For clarity the code states:
> {noformat}
>    NOTE: as of 2017-10-08, this generator has a different multiplier (a
>    fixed-point representation of the golden ratio), which eliminates
>    linear dependencies from one of the lowest bits. The previous
>    multiplier was 1181783497276652981 (M_8 in the paper). If you need to
>    tell apart the two generators, you can refer to this generator as
>    xorshift1024φ and to the previous one as xorshift1024*M_8.
> {noformat}
> This can be added as a variant of the current implementation:
> class = XorShift1024StarPhi
>  RandomSource = XOR_SHIFT_1024_S_PHI
